Selecting video infrastructure requires answering three critical questions: whether it eliminates manual tasks, opens new revenue channels, and handles high-volume publishing reliably. For media companies publishing 50–300 videos daily, the platform you choose is infrastructure. Not software.
Core Evaluation Criteria
- Speed to publish
- Operational scale (50–300 videos daily)
- Distribution reach beyond YouTube and social
- Revenue infrastructure capabilities
- Reliability under pressure
